I'm excited to hear about your experiences with growing and using lemon verbena! It's well-known for its amazing lemon scent, especially when you touch the leaves, which is one of the reasons I want to grow it in my apartment. I've also read that it has numerous health benefits such as reducing anxiety, aiding digestion, boosting the immune system, and more. Aside from making tea, I'd love to know if you've tried using it in soups, jams, or cocktails. Do you grow any other types of verbena?

Lemon verbena sounds awesome! I'm definitely inspired to start growing it after reading your post. The aroma is just heavenly and I can't wait to have some fresh leaves at home.
You should also consider lemon balm; it shares a lot of the benefits you mentioned for lemon verbena. I use it in tea and it’s fantastic! Have you tried or thought about using it in your recipes?
